Elecom ASP-P200S dock

Elecom's ASP-P200S iPod dock is a 2.1 sound system, with the subwoofer placed on a vertical hinge so the dock can be more easily carried. The remote tucks into a crevice for the same reason. Using a set of three adapters, the P200S supports all fourth- and fifth-gen iPods, including Minis and Nanos. Players can be charged at the same time they're in use. The subwoofer produces 6W of sound while the satellites produce 3W apiece. The dock comes with an AC adapter and a stereo output cord, and will go on sale in Japan in mid-December. Black or white versions will be available for 8,820 yen ($76) with tax.
